From: "Tom Chatt"
In this workshop, Hank Stack of Portland, Oregon, will focus on
some of the major issues of interaction between deaf and gay
people and the hearing culture, the hearing gay subculture and the
mainstream deaf culture. This will be a bilingual presentation
with sign-language/oral interpreters: both deaf and hearing people
are invited. It is drawn from Stack's lifelong experiences as an
activist deaf person in a hearing world, in addition to his
research involving videotaped and informal interviews with many
individuals around the country, representing a cross-section of
the Deaf/Gay population. Topics will include residential school
life, coming out, being gay in the deaf straight world, and
interacting with hearing gays. The workshop will be of special
interest to professionals and others who interact with deaf gays
as care providers, friends and lovers.
A graduate of Gallaudet University, Hank Stack is himself deaf,
as were his parents and all except one of his siblings. Currently
a sign-language newscaster for the NBC affiliate in Portland, and
a part-time instructor at Portland Community College, he is an
officer of the Rainbow Alliance of the Deaf, a national
organization of deaf lesbians and gays.
